Prep Time
5 minutes
Cook Time
5 minutes
Servings
2 cups
Ingredients
2 cups filtered water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon raw honey
1 teaspoon magnesium-rich mineral salt or Himalayan salt
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 small cucumber, sliced
A few fresh mint leaves
Optional: 1 teaspoon magnesium citrate powder (food grade)
Instructions
Step 1: Warm the Water
In a small saucepan, gently warm the filtered water over low heat. Do not boil it, as excessive heat may reduce the freshness of some ingredients.
Step 2: Add the Flavor Base
Stir in the fresh lemon juice, raw honey, grated ginger, and mineral salt until fully dissolved.
Step 3: Blend the Ingredients
Add the cucumber slices, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, and mint leaves into a blender. Pour in the warm tonic mixture and blend until smooth.
Step 4: Strain (Optional)
For a smoother drink, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve. If you enjoy a thicker tonic with extra fiber, you can skip this step.
Step 5: Add Magnesium Powder
If using magnesium citrate powder, stir it in after blending according to package directions.
Step 6: Serve
Pour into mugs or glasses and enjoy warm or chilled. Garnish with extra mint or a lemon slice if desired.
